Hmm...could be this:

# ls /sbin/dhclient
ls: /sbin/dhclient: No such file or directory

Then according to:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/distrib/utils/sysinst/net.c?rev=1.105&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

#define DHCLIENT_EX "/sbin/dhclient"
[...]
	if (!file_mode_match(DHCLIENT_EX, S_IFREG))
		return 0;

So, is this a known issue that dhclient is not part of the installation
filesystem for 2.0/alpha?  How can I proceed?

Thanks,
Jim
